  1. Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1.7 kilometers) per hour at the equator and orbits around the sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant.

    The spinning and orbital speeds of Earth stay the same so we do not feel any acceleration or deceleration. You can only feel motion if your speed changes.

    For example, if you are in a car which is moving at a constant speed on a smooth surface, you will not feel much motion. However, when the car accelerates or when the brakes are applied, you do feel motion.

  5. We are moving the same speed as the earth..  Just like when you cruise at 65 down the highway the water in your cup is level because it is also going 65..
